Klicks in a perfect word all teams would want to do that but with the price of contracts its very hard to make that happen like that. Especially to pay your entire roster and be able to bring in FA's and let others walk.
I'd say nearly all contracts have a clause that conduct detrimental to the team or the league constitutes a case for recouping monies paid. These players sign these contracts knowing the big deal clauses and fine print...if they don't then they deserve whatever they get.
The falcons are not going after all of the money paid to him. I think a lot of people are disregarding that fact...they are only going after what they legally can based on the judge's ruling terms of the contract and previous similar cases.
Another thing that should be kept in mind is that the signing bonus...while paid out up front...is still part of and based on the contract...not fullfilling the contract at hand directly affects that money.
